"How could it be false? The young general used to be a fool, even his own parents despised him."

"Why do I feel like something's wrong? Su Xiran is the real daughter of the Fang family. She held a grand banquet and acknowledged her biological father. Does she care about her biological mother and grandfather?"

The man who asked the question was dressed like a scholar, wearing silk clothes, and looked like he came from a well-off family.

"It doesn't matter, of course it does."

Someone at the same table said.

"You didn't see it. After the trial, Fang Jin took his family away. He still lived in Chen's house, and he also went to Chen's house with his family."

After Fang Jin came down from the court, he asked in public to take the Fang family away. Of course, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture could no longer stop him.

Besides, it would be beneficial to the case if we let the Fang family have some contact.

"Hiss, the Chen family, Chen Haokun, Fang Jin's son-in-law, was so badly betrayed by the Third Princess, and the Chen family is still willing to keep Fang Jin?"

The affairs of the Fang family are really complicated and difficult to sort out.

Their own family is a mess, and the people around them are a mess too.

"Didn't they say that colluding with the Marquis of Xi'nan was the Prince Consort's doing? Fang Jin is the Third Princess's advisor, so it shouldn't have any impact, right?"

The others smiled but said nothing.

Whoever said it doesn’t matter will definitely take his anger out on others.

Besides, the prince consort is very ambitious. Is Fang Jin the third princess's man or the prince consort's man?

Even though the third princess was released from the clan house, it seemed that the matter was over.

But in the past few days, many people who were close to the third princess in the past have been arrested on the grounds that they were in cahoots with the prince consort. Who knows if Fang Jin will be arrested?

In a private room on the third floor of the restaurant, the Fang family was waiting for their food to be served while listening to the discussions in the next room.

Fang Nanzhi's gaze fell on his second uncle.

Fang Yin had just left the yamen and felt a little tired. He poured himself a glass of wine and shook his head: "Fang Jin should not be liquidated."

He is still a useful chess piece, and the Third Princess will protect him.

"It's been a turbulent time. Since arriving in Beijing, things have been happening one after another. I feel more exhausted than living in Huainan Prefecture for three or four years."

Fang Tong sighed.

Everyone thought about it and it seemed to be true.

After arriving in Beijing, they encountered nothing but major events, which never allowed them to relax mentally.

"Fang Jin's case is not difficult. It all depends on how the prefect handles it."

Qin Yan came directly to the restaurant after finishing his studies at the Imperial College.

"Yeah, I've decided. I'll go watch it every day. It's fun..."

Fang Nanzhi had not been in a very good mood recently because of Chen Yong's matter, but after hearing about Fang Jin's case and seeing the Fang family members suffering misfortune one after another, she didn't know what happened, but she suddenly felt refreshed.

"Mom is with you." Qian Fengping said with a smile.

The family ate and drank together, feeling quite gloating.

In the palace, the emperor listened to Eunuch Fu telling Fang Jin's case as a story and ate two more bowls of rice.

"Are all the Fang family members so... weird?"

Eunuch Fu smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty, some people are just like that, poor and bad. They dare to do anything for profit, without any regard for etiquette."

The emperor was not so happy at once.

"To have unruly people like the Fang family shows that I haven't done enough to educate the people."

Otherwise, why would he do so many stupid and disgusting things?

Eunuch Fu consoled him: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince said that the people in that small village are very simple and honest. I think families like the Fang family must be a minority."

"They are inherently evil. No amount of education will help. Look at General Fang and Lord Fang, who are also from the Fang family."

"General Fang is loyal, brave, and resourceful. Lord Fang is also devoted to farming and cares about the people. I heard that the sweaters and scarves that the Ministry of Agriculture has been focusing on recently are Lord Fang's ideas."

After hearing what he said, the emperor felt much better.

It’s not his fault that the emperor is incompetent, it’s just that some people are inherently vicious.

Looking at the ninth-rank agricultural minister and major general he personally selected, they have the ability to do things and have moral character.

He really has good taste.

"What is a sweater?" the emperor became curious.

Eunuch Fu only heard about it from others and didn't know what it was like.

He told the truth and the emperor did not blame him. After all, Eunuch Fu was just a eunuch and could not interfere in state affairs.

He decided to take some time to visit Sinong Temple.

General Meng's mansion was busy preparing for his daughter's wedding, but he also did not forget to pay attention to this case.

When Mrs. Meng saw her daughter trying on her wedding dress, her eyes became a little red and she felt uncomfortable.

After raising a daughter this big, she still has to get married.

Seeing her mother like this, Meng Lan pulled her arm and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, please don't be like this. After I get married, I will go back home to live."

"What are you talking about, silly girl? Being married is different from being in the boudoir. You always go back to your parents' house and make people laugh at you."

Mrs. Meng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Meng Lan was very serious.

"Mom, it's true. Fang Yin and I have agreed that after I get married, we will try to live in both places."

"We'll stay at Fang's for a month, and then go home for another month. Mom, you won't dislike us, will you?"

"It's no use complaining, I just want to come back."

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment: "You girl, you won't force Fang Yin, right? Women can't be too strong..."

"Mom, I didn't. Fang Yin has no objection. He said that he has lived in the Meng family for several years anyway. It has always been his home."

Meng Lan smiled and said, "But, mother, didn't you say before that a woman can be weak on the outside but not on the inside?"

Mrs. Meng pinched her nose.

"Silly girl, what mother means is that you haven't gotten married yet, so you can't show your true nature and be too strong. It won't be too late after you get married..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the mother and daughter hugged each other and laughed.

After laughing, Mrs. Meng said seriously: "Is it true that you live in two different places?"

"Yeah." Meng Lan nodded.

"Fang Yin said that he and Dad were drinking the day before yesterday. Afterwards, Dad started crying and said he didn't want me to get married and that he would miss me in the future. But Dad didn't admit it the next day."

"Fang Yin said that my father was stubborn, but as his apprentice he had to be filial and come to stay at the Meng family more often in the future."

Mrs. Meng was both amused and touched.

"Oh, I won't hide it from you. My heart is suddenly clear. Other people's son-in-law is half a son, but my son-in-law is a son, and he is worth two."

It can be seen that Mrs. Meng was really happy and she ignored the rules and called her son-in-law.

Thinking that after her daughter got married, they could still live together almost the same as before, the sadness in her heart about marrying off her daughter disappeared immediately.

"Lan'er, Fang Yin loves you, so you have to love her too. I knew that child had a hard time before, but now I realize how pitiful he is. His own parents don't like him and actually want him to go mining, which is a deadly job."

"Thanks to Fang Tong for supporting my brother. By the way, Lan'er, do Fang Tong and Feng Ping have any objections to you living together?"

Meng Lan shook her head.

"No, mother."

The next day, at the same time, the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture became bustling early in the morning.

The number of people who came was twice as many as yesterday. They all came after hearing the discussions in the streets and alleys.
